agreed........

so i got rear ended by a drunken one eyed bogan in a commondoor on Torrens road last night while on my way across town to see ralf.

the dumb bastard decided he could do a runner........(in hind sight i shouldn't have chased him, but the heat of the moment kinda took me)

so i finally got him to pull over in what he said was his drive way (lies), preceded to tell me the damage wasnt his and that he didnt do any of it. and that he has no insurance and that i should just walk away and my lifes not worth it....really?? geebus.......frackin local bogans. needless to say i drove around the corner and called the Police. while on the phone to the popo he drove past again all over the shoppe.

The wife took the crappy ass wing off her R33, other than that its going well. the Hicas light has started coming on over 80kmh etc. also needs inner tie rods outter ball joint thingos and lock bar for the hicas or a driftworks eliminator kit so not sure which way we will go yet. not long ago got a mongoose alarm fitted by Chris Rogers and very happy with his work and the alarm:)

The Cressida finally has some work happening! getting an Emanage Ultimate and a genuine head gasket for the 1jz and started pulling parts off the motor getting ready to remove it to see why it pumping oil. also got some R33 calipers and BA falcon rotors for the brake upgrade ready to go.

I can't wait to drive a real car again instead of my hail damaged festiva which is doing well, just replaced a couple of bushes tonight

Sorry to hear about being rear ended Boiracer that sucks!

bloody bogan commos...

If people are keen, this thursday we are going down to carseldine @ 7:30. The morayfield grp will meet at the bp@7 and head down.

I got work at 8:45 so ill leave around 8:30

just picked the car up.. Only made 320hp which is a bit disappointing. Supposedly had a poor batch of fuel which didnt have enough timing in it.

Mind you upgrading from 240 to 320 is still a nice jump and car has a nice smooth power delivery to it.

HICAS eliminator kit adds to a nicer drive as well.

Will have dyno graph tomorrow as today is a Public Holiday for those brissie folk

yeah I know that feeling, where did you get it tuned?

In Brissie, not big on naming names....

Its more to do with the car than the tune i think

Not willing to name the tuner that is a bit odd...I am looking for a new tuner guess I will just do what everyone else does and take it to EFI.

Why's that Clint???? Just because Peter's not interested in tuning hand granades. What do you think EFI will do for you, that we haven't already done?????

Nothing wrong with a second opinion Brad, Sean did my last car and I wouldn't mind putting a Nistune in to see if the Power FC is the issue before I go spending another $1200 on tuning.

I get the SAU member discount down at EFI for a fit and Tune of the Nistune.

How is the car a hand grenade? I have taken Peter's advise at every turn he is the only person to work on it since purchase apart from an oil change and plugs I have done, just trying to eliminate potential issues 1 at a time.

If I had cash up my sleeve I would buy a Haltech but lets face it House trumps car, I am exploring options on what I can do and a Nistune that is $1k is cheaper while retaining factory R&R protection of the engine rather than retuning a potentially faulty Power FC and it playing up.

To rule the AFM out I will get it retuned wither with another Z32 AFM or the stock unit.

I have sent many of the local skyline owners Peter's way and have also recommended your work as well, I think that as a car owner I am entitled to look at what options are available to me based on my budget so at least I am aware of what is achievable.

    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
    • Trailer got new mudguards to accommodate the new wheels Lightweight ally Painted, stickered and done ✅ 👌
